TheSpectR-Pro Bundle is a signal analyzer package for SAWStudio digital audio workstations consisting of three SAW native plugins: SpectR-Pro, SpectR, and Focus.
SpectR-Pro is a 120 band 1/12 octave spectrum analyzer, while SpectR is a 31 band 1/3 octave spectrum analyzer. Both SpectR-Pro and SpectR display real-time frequency response from 5hz to 20khz over an adjustable 100dB range.
Numerous options provide ways to adjust SpectR-Pro to specific audio signals:
Meter level is adjustable
Meters can display instantaneous Peak levels or a rolling Average level
Peaks can be turned on or off and set to decay or fall
Monitor the stereo signal, left or right channels independently
SpectR-Pro has a unique feature which can capture the frequency response of a reference signal and store it as an EQ curve. This EQ curve can be statically displayed for a visual reference, or can be applied to an input signal in real time to view the offset between the input signal and the stored EQ curve.
Focus is a phase correlation meter using a "lissajous curve" oscilloscope type display. Focus shows signal data on an X/Y grid and can help in alerting you to phase problems and stereo image issues, and is also useful in calibrating the azimuth of analog tape recorders.
SpectR-Pro, SpectR and Focus all can analyze the live monitored signal using SAWStudio's input monitoring.
The SP-1 Stereo Panner allows the Left and Right channels of a stereo file to be attenuated and panned independently of each other. All parameters are automateable. Activating the "Gang" control allows any of the parameter controls to be linked together.
